Ready in just 25 minutes with minimal effort, "Tiramitwist" brings an irresistible combination of flavors and textures to your table.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture.
In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture for 2-3 seconds each, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular or square serving dish (approximately 9x9 inches).
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle half of the grated dark chocolate and crushed hazelnuts over the mascarpone layer.
Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture, grated chocolate, and hazelnuts.
Dust the top layer generously with powdered cocoa for a classic finish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled, garnished with extra orange zest or chocolate shavings if desired.
